Description

This is the right-facing corner to the left of

Upper Slot

. The crux is moving off the ledge: there are good jams (and gear), but it's quite strenuous to get going. Once you get going, look to the right for some useful face holds for your right foot. Those with long legs can stem over to the right to a seam after a few moves to get a rest and take the edge off a bit. The crack gradually widens and the difficulty eases off considerably.

Location

This route is the corner to the left of

Upper Slot

. The route links very nicely with

Lower Slot

. Use the bolted rappel anchor to rap off the backside of the formation. Use one of several options to downclimb from there.

Protection

Standard rack. A couple of bigger pieces (#5, #6 Camalot) will be useful as the crack widens towards the top. A bolted rappel anchor can be used for a belay at the top. Although my partner didn't build a gear anchor, it looks like there are options if the bolted anchor is otherwise occupied.
